News and Announcements
CFCamp is back in 2023
Given we’ve been taunting everyone with cancellations and postponements and dangling carrots in front of people since 2020 now, both Michi Hnat and I felt it’d be great to give you an exclusive! Breaking news kind of thing.

So: without further ado! CF Camp will be back in June 2023.

We have a date - 22 and 23rd of June 2023 for the main conference event. That is gonna be a Thursday and Friday and as in the past there will be additional pre events on the Tuesday and Wednesday. I would expect the Ortus team to run some training workshops for instance, I heard that the Preside CMS team is looking at doing a mini Preside-con day as well and we’ll see what else might be happening.

Venue is unchanged, we’ll be again in the Marriott Munich Airport, which is NOT at the airport but in the lovely little ancient town of Freising. Michi has booked the hotel, so it’s as official as it gets at this stage.

If you go to cfcamp.org now, you’ll find there is a “Save the date” and more will be coming soon. We’re currently working on the Sponsorship documents, and have started to think about the Call for Papers and what we want to be looking for from a session and topic point of view. It’ll be an open and transparent process again via Papercall or Sessionize and we'll again try to do our best to increase diversity and help to get underrepresented groups in the tech industry out there.

At this stage I’d expect the call for Papers to open in early Jan, not sure if we’ll manage to squeeze it onto this side of the end of year holidays.

Adobe ColdFusion Fortuna (Codename for CF2023) Alpha
I am opening up the Alpha testing group for Adobe ColdFusion 2023 (Codename: Fortuna). Please sign up here to be set up for access to the alpha testing site on Adobe Prerelease:
https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/C0A219A0-A127-417A-D0D3-A7B5B3C5A0AE/participate/C3B4F4DC-8662-4610-D2B1-EE8FAD396648

Related - Adobe Bug Tracker Went MAD
As they released the Alpha, all of the tickets were moved to beta. People got a lot of emails, some people (ADAM CAMERON) got millions as every bug got moved from Alpha to Beta. The weird part was all the links to the issues were broken, I assume because of the Internal vs External Jira connection.
At least we know they use the bug tracker - right :)

Into the Box 2023 Call for Speakers is now Open
We are pleased to announce the call for speakers for the Into The Box Conference for 2023 is now officially open. The conference will be held in The Woodlands (Houston), Texas on May 17-19, 2023 . This year we will continue the tradition of training and offering a pre-conference hands-on training day on May 17th and our live Mariachi Band Party! However, we are back to our Spring schedule and beautiful weather in The Woodlands! Also, this 2023 will mark our 10 year anniversary. So we might have two live bands and much more!!!
